Ministry of Hope

Teaching and Sermons

There's such a variety concerning biblical teaching,
and we cannot
always determine where these things come from, but by their fruit.
This is how we recognize the true from the false, those who use
God
for personal gain, dilute God's Word to lead people
into
vain promises of deceit, away from the truth, and God's purpose

leave a private or public
message.
we will always respond to your private questions !!

Teaching and Sermons:

In most of the teaching we will warn people against
misleading ministries and ministers. But some teachings are simply to bring them
back into perspective and in the contest of the bible, some teachings have been
lost over the years, others are overstated today. Therefore it is our aim to
present to you a balanced view of God and the Bible, so we can grow spiritually
and emotionally, loving and understanding God, seeing His hand in all areas of
our lives and the times we live in, so we will have His direction to lead us
safely to our eternal home with Him as the Word of God is teaching us. Keeping
us in His care. (prov. 3:1-35)
